EP486: Doug & Leslie Davis - How To Affair Proof Your Marriage

"If there's not some intentionality, then we know without that intentionality, you're just on autopilot, you're just going through life, and then life gets away from you, and you've accomplished nothing more than the mundane stuff of life." In this podcast episode, Doug and Leslie Davis share their backstory and how they started their marriage ministry. They emphasize the importance of a vision-driven marriage, which involves intentional actions and honoring God in the relationship. They come from different perspectives, with Leslie having a counseling background and Doug being a pastor. They discuss the significance of being quick to listen and slow to speak, actively communicating with each other, and limiting unspoken, unmet expectations. They highlight the need for couples to do things together, engage in recreational intimacy, and face challenges as a team. The episode also touches on the dangers of emotional affairs and the importance of meeting each other's emotional and sexual needs within the marriage.
